John
Abraham's
much
anticipated
film
Satyameva
Jayate
2
released
in
theatres
on
Thursday
(November
25,
2021).
Helmed
by
Milap
Zaveri,
the
mass
entertainer
stars
the
actor
in
a
triple
role
while
Divya
Khosla
Kumar
plays
the
leading
lady.
However,
film
opened
to
negative
reviews
from
the
critics
and
received
flak
for
its
tired
stereotypes
and
messy
story-telling.
Speaking
about
its
performance
at
the
box
office
on
its
opening
day,
the
film
collected
Rs
3.60
crore
on
Day
1.
Satyameva
Jayate
2
began
on
a
slow
note
in
multiplexes
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Sooryavanshi
giving
it
some
stiff
competition.
Apparently,
the
film
got
a
lackluster
start
in
the
North
and
West
regions.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted,
"#SatyamevaJayate2
registers
low
numbers
on
Day
1...
Multiplexes
weak...
Single
screens
of
mass
circuits
better,
but
not
enough
to
compensate...
Going
forward,
will
need
to
grow
on
Day
2,
since
it
faces
another
mass-centric
film

Earlier
while
speaking
with
IANS,
John
had
said
that
his
film
is
meant
for
the
masses
and
not
for
the
niche
audience.
The
actor
had
said,
"Firstly,
our
film
Satyameva
Jayate
2
is
made
for
the
mass
audience
and
not
for
the
niche.
People
who
buy
tickets,
go
to
the
theatres,
especially
the
audience
of
single-screen
theatres
in
a
small
town,
are
not
bothered
about
the
reviews
and
critical
explanation.
They
want
entertainment."
He
had
further
added,
"That
is
why
their
enthusiasm
is
also
reflected
in
the
box-office
collection.
For
us,
actors
and
producers,
that
is
the
most
important
factor.
I
also
must
mention
that
there
is
a
clear
disconnect
between
what
is
happening
on
social
media
and
how
that
is
played
out
on
box-office
collections."
